Shooting at the 1992 Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shooting at the 1992 Summer Olympics took place at a shooting range complex in Mollet del Vallès outside Barcelona, Spain. Competitions were held in a total of thirteen events — six men's events, four women's events, and three events open to both genders. It was the first time a woman (Zhan Shan in Skeet) took a gold medal in such an open event, and also the last time they were held. From 1996 and on, all shooting events have been either men's or women's.

It was also the first games for 10 m Running Target, which replaced 50 m Running Target on the Olympic program, as well as the first games with the new targets in all rifle and pistol events except 50 m Pistol, leading to a large number of automatic Olympic records.

Image:silver medal icon.svg China Wang Yifu (CHN) 565 92 657
Image:bronze medal icon.svg Sweden Ragnar Skanåker (SWE) 566 91 657

Lukashyk, a 16-year-old Belarusian, shocked the entire world by having the pre-final lead in this event. The final became severely interrupted by a pistol malfunction for Tanyu Kiryakov (Bulgaria) who was second but had to leave the competition short of finishing his ten shots. Lukashyk needed a nine for his last shot, and it broke only seconds before the 75-second deadline, but was a nine indeed, and so the sensation was a fact. The event is also often noted for the 42-year age difference between the gold and bronze medalists.

Image:bronze medal icon.svg Unified Team Vladimir Vokhmianin (EUN) 590 196 96 882

The Rapid Fire Pistol event was shot with a 20-shot semifinal and a 10-shot final, both as four-second series. Schumann, who had finished second to Kuzmins in Seoul, turned the tables and won this first-ever Olympic RFP competition on the circular target.

Image:bronze medal icon.svg Bulgaria Maria Grozdeva (BUL) 383 98.6 481.6

Until 1992, ties after finals were resolved by best final score. Sekarić was devastated to find that she had lost precisely the 2.0 points she had to spare, thus losing the gold on exactly the same score as Logvinenko, who could return with two gold medals from the games. (The rules were later changed to resolving all ties by shoot-offs.)
